"For a chill but still romantic night out, try Bar Gemini, a cool wine bar in the Mission led by wine industry pros, Subject to Change owner Alex Pomerantz and partner Dominique Henderson. With the star power behind the selections, expect a list full of fun and funky natural wines, a dozen of which can be ordered by the glass, carafe, or bottle. Then there’s the food. Though the menu offers mostly small plates, they’re backed by Ernest chef Brandon Rice, which means marinated gigante beans, smoked salmon dip, and a mortadella-stuffed grilled cheese rise well above average." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman
